Diethyl 4,6-diacetamido­isophthalate

In the title compound, C16H20N2O6, two intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur, in which the carbonyl O atoms of the ethyl acetate groups serve as the acceptor atoms; both motifs generate S(6) rings. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O links (with the acceptor O atoms part of the amide groups), generating [001] chains.
